Planned UN climate accord a blow to fossil fuels: Greenpeace

A planned global accord to tame global warming released at UN talks in Paris on Saturday would deal a big blow to the fossil fuel industry, Greenpeace and other prominent environment groups said.

"The wheel of climate action turns slowly, but in Paris it has turned. This deal puts the fossil fuel industry on the wrong side of history," Greenpeace International executive director Kumi Naidoo said.
